Bug#981932: lintian: warn about packages using PyPI pages in the Homepage field
Package: lintian Version: 2.104.0 Severity: wishlist Please warn about packages using PyPI pages in the Homepage field. PyPI is a packaging system just as Debian is a packaging system and each PyPI package has a Homepage link that points at the upstream homepage. Debian packages should point at the upstream homepage rather than the page for other packaging systems like PyPI. There are two forms of Homepages that are used, the first of these is the current one, and the second one is the old one and it redirects to the current one. https://pypi.org/project// https://pypi.python.org/pypi// According to the Debian Code Search service 100 packages are affected: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Fcontrol+Homepage%3A.*pypi&literal=0 -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

* Paul Wise , 2021-02-05, 16:59: PyPI is a packaging system just as Debian is a packaging system and each PyPI package has a Homepage link that points at the upstream homepage. Not every package at PyPI has Homepage set, e.g.: https://pypi.org/project/python-cpl/ And sometimes Homepage points back to the PyPI page, e.g.: https://pypi.org/project/Unidecode/ According to the Debian Code Search service 100 packages are affected: https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Fcontrol+Homepage%3A.*pypi&literal=0 Actually that's 277 packages at the moment. -- Jakub Wilk

Does that affect the implementation awaiting release—for example the proposed tag description? https://salsa.debian.org/lintian/lintian/-/blob/b7078695691b5ff4733c25544404b4e25147389f/tags/p/pypi-homepage.tag Kind regards Felix Lechner
